$100 million for elective surgery

National has already announced it will target health funding, rather than provide universal subsidies for millionaires to visit their GPs etc.

Now it has announced it will use those savings to spend $100 million on elective surgery.

I certainly think it is a far higher priority that the hospital waiting lists are reduced, than millionaires get subsidised GP visits.

This of course is just another example of what Helen Clark now labels “very nasty right wing politics”.

I wonder if there is anything at all that Miss Clark does not label as “very nasty right wing politics”?
